His mercy endureth forever. (KJV)
His love endures forever. (NIV)
His love continues forever. (NCV)
An entire Psalm of thanksgiving and praise to the one whose love continues forever. He is the God of gods; LORD of lords; He is good; He does great miracles; He made the skies with wisdom; He set the earth over the seas; He made the sun and moon; He made the sun to rule the day and the moon and stars the night; with His power and might He freed the Israelites from the Egyptians; He parted the waters of the Red Sea; He led the Israelites through the middle of it; He caused the Egyptians to be caught and drowned in it; He led his people through the desert; He prepared the way and defeated great and powerful kings; He gave the Israelites the land of their enemies as a gift; He remembered them when they were in trouble; He freed them from their enemies; He provided sustenance to them. Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love continues forever.
The God of the Israelites is our God—the same God. He can (and is) doing the same for us. I am so thankful and grateful that we serve a living God. The God of all gods; King of all kings; LORD of all lords. Thank you, LORD, for leading us, guiding us, directing us, providing for us, sustaining us, protecting us, giving us peace, giving us joy, giving us contentment, delivering us, blessing us, and with your mighty hand and outstretched arm, providing for us a way of escaping our enemies. We truly do serve a God whose love continues forever.
The first verse of Psalm 136, "Give thanks to the LORD because he is good; His love continues forever" is what is quoted in Jeremiah 33:11 - "...they will say, "Praise the LORD All-Powerful, because the LORD is good! His love continues forever." They were still in captivity. It wasn't over yet. But God was telling them all of that was soon going to change. He was going to bring them out. He had promised it and nothing could happen to make Him break His promise. The "I will's" of God—written in stone. God promised it—and God did it. God has promised us—and God (not man) will deliver us from "the storm."
LORD, may it be clear to everyone that YOU are in control and that YOU are the one to free us. May YOU get all the honor and glory.
Today is my husband's birthday. I'm so thankful that he is a man of integrity, honest, faithful, and true. Hardworking, considerate, loyal and patient. A godly man, a great husband, and terrific father and a treasured Pop-Pop. So thankful! God, please continue to bless him with health and strength. I love you honey!
